- At a stand-still if I let off the gas, the vehicle moves/pulls away
- At rolling speed, if I take my foot off the gas pedal, the revs hold (slightly drop after a second)
- Transmission shifts fine, no slipping
- 2-1 downshift is much better since new fluid/filter and software. Still present but not as bad

I've read that I should address the TC sooner rather than later to not destroy the rest of the transmission? Most people buy re-man TC or new TC's, and others just buy a completely new transmission. Almost 130k on this transmission.
I would do a remanufactured ZF5hp from ZF. You could change the TC but you will already have the trans out might as well do the reman Trans and keep rolling.
